Abstract

This study examined the effects of income, education, and occupational equity on union and company commitment as derived from the predictions of equity theory. The data were collected from a sample of white-collar workers employed in a large utility agency of the federal government (N = 145). Significant positive relationships were found between education and occupational equity and company commitment but not union commitment. The implications of these findings for equity theory and application are considered.
